This is a drawing of handwritten text on a light-colored background. The phrases are written in a slightly darker tan hue and are arranged in a poetic manner. The text reads:
"TAKE ME TO THE WORLD
WHERE I NEVER KNOW.
GOWANN. FABONN GOWANN.
WHITE WITHOUT WHITE
WHITE WITHIN WHITE.
GOD! IT'S ALREADY IN THE MORNING.
KABONN GOWANN KABONN.
QUIET WHITE SOUND OF LOVE.
KIMIJI AKAGAWA"
The text appears to be created by hand, possibly with a brush or flowing pen. A signature is present at the bottom of the image.
